Jack Ruby told an FBI informant to 'watch the fireworks' just hours before Kennedy's assassination
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 11/18/2017 9:43:23 AM PST by TigerClaws

Jack Ruby made comments on the morning of President John F Kennedy's assassination to an FBI informant that suggested he knew what was about to take place, according to new records released Friday.

Ruby, who was eventually charged with killing Lee Harvey Oswald, asked an FBI informant if he would like to 'watch the fireworks' with him as Kennedy's motorcade drove through downtown Dallas just hours before the assassination took place.

I don’t buy any part of the story: This “informant” just “happened” to be with Ruby before the event. He then just “happened” to go with Ruby to the exact place of the assassination. He the just “happened” to be in jail with Ruby, all on totally unrelated charges. Then he just “happened” to tell this story 14 years later. Uhuh

And why was there an FBI informant there?

Tracking Ruby, in a mob investigation?

Or something else?

“Who lost the most other than J.F.K.? His brother Robert.”

Really? RFK went on to the Senate, and after four years of LBJ screwing up in Vietnam, was in the catbird seat to get the Dem nomination in ‘68 & would have defeated Nixon.

Then he too was assassinated. Also by a lone nutjob.

The local police neglected to follow the advice of the FBI when taking Oswald through the parking garage with all of the press collected. It was instantly thought at the time outside of government press releases that Ruby did rub him out.

Ruby worked for Alan Dofrman, who worked for Jimmy Hoffa.

He had mob connections from way back.

The CIA and the mob were running guns to Cuba (and Ruby was involved).

And this “revelation” does not jive with the surprised and saddened Ruby in the hours that followed the assassination.

Of all the theories, I think Carlos Marcello and Trafficanti ordered the hit on JFK.

Anyone who still thinks the assassination wasn’t a conspiracy is an idiot.

Any conspiracy which would include a guy like LHO would be a gang of bigger idiots.

Any conspiracy which would include guys like LHO and Ruby would be a gang of bigger idiots.

Yeah, I'm not buying the 14 year delay to come clean myself. But- to suppose the informant was actually truthful- maybe something else was supposed to happen. Like maybe Connally was supposed to get hit and nobody else.

I’m confident that Oswald did not act alone, if he was a shooter, and believe that there was more than one shooter. If Oswald was the only shooter, I think he would have fired on Kennedy as the limo was driving North on Houston Street directly toward the book depository building. The fact that Kennedy was shot after the limo made a left turn onto Elm Street and was going away (West) from the depository tells me that that area between the depository and railroad trestle was an ambush “kill box”, where multiple shooters would insure a kill. I base this on having driven the route and my military experience and training in settling up ambushes.

I spent a whole day in Dealy Plaza
And your exactly correct.
The “Snipers Nest”,
Grassy knoll and The whole Works.
A lone gunman Would Not take
The Grassy Knoll shot.
The Grassy Knoll was The Perfect
“Kill Zone”for a Team!

Oswald was As He Declared,A Patsy.

LHO was an employee of the book depository. He hated America and loved USSR. He shot at a military general in Texas. The trip to Texas and route was spur of the moment.

A perfect storm of opportunity, motive and capability for one man. Other entity involvement is speculation.

ruby did his job and kept oswald from being able to spill the beans to save himself; typical mob style maneuver

And he quietly rotted away in prison. Why wouldn’t he out others involved if he knew?

I’ve visited as well.

What I noticed is a much easier shot as the cars turned onto Elm. Shooting down was can’t miss. Instead he waited. Why?

Ruby knew it was LBJ.

For 54 years, the truth was ridiculed with the CIA-invented standby “conspiracy theory.” And “grassy knoll.”

Now we know (in large part thanks to DJT) that some of the shots came from the grassy knoll.

There are “conservative” and “patriotic” sites today that are just as committed to suppressing the truth and PROTECTING THE GUILTY, because some of the guilty are Republicans. Their intellectual dishonesty is on display every time they suspend or ban someone for posting “conspiracy garbage.”
